It's that time of the year again. Yes, it's election time. That is no surprise with all the contentious barbs that have been being traded this election cycle. In fact, it has been one of the most contentious I have seen in several years. Even more so than the Trump v Clinton election two years ago.
My mailbox has been filled with a lot of mail from both sides.
One piece of mail came from a group calling itself the Center for Voter Information, out of Springfield, MO. Once it was opened up, I found the mailer was a liberal organization, twisting the truth. The first problem is that it is out of state interest group, interjecting itself into a Kansas election. The second, it claimed that Steve Watkins wants to cut the taxes for millionaires. Trying to insinuate that he wants to raise everyone else's taxes. The real fact is that he wants to lower the taxes for everyone, especially the poor. The fact that millionaires are also included, is a good thing. If the millionaire's taxes are lower, they have more money to pay employees. Yes, millionaires tend to be the ones who own businesses. As such they create jobs. More money they have, the more jobs they can create. The more jobs they create, the more people are working and paying taxes. Which, is a big win for the government.
The fact Paul Davis is shady is, or should be by now obvious, with his being present in the back room of a strip club, receiving a lap dance when the club was raided for drugs. One could say, as Davis tries to, that was thirty-years ago. Does change the fact, that as a lawyer he should have known better. Sure people can change, but it's hard to not overlook that fact. I admit, I have done things in my past, that I would rather forget. Especially in my youth. That, however, was just that I was not a lawyer, I was not someone, who was representing the law in any way. I was young and ipressionable, I since grew up. Davis was a grown man, working as a lawyer.
He in turns tries to paint Watkins to be just as shady. I for one am not buying it. Yes, I have qualms about the GOP nominee (I endorsed and voted for Caryn Tyson in the Primary), but I cannot in good conscience, vote for someone, who wants to raise taxes on Americans. Which in turn, if it happened, would raise unemployment. The fact is, we must cut Government waste. If a candidate, isn't willing to look at cutting government waste first and foremost then I am not interested in voting for them, It is for that reason, I am endorsing Steve Watkins for Congress in the second district of Kansas,
